I am not saying Putin’s actions are acceptable, but I think we need to step back and see what is really going on rather than just buying into what we are being told to think about the situation.
Why is Putin’s violation of Ukraine’s sovereign borders so barbaric, but America’s invasions, attacks and military violence committed against Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Syria and dozens of other countries not also barbaric? Why has corporate media been silent over the years, even cheering such attacks, never once caring about how many innocent people would be “displaced” in those countries.
When America attacks other nations, it’s never described by the western media as a barbaric onslaught that’s killing innocents. It’s always described as an effort to “defend freedom.” Why is America’s violence acceptable and dressed up as “peace,” but when anybody else does it around the world, suddenly it’s a brutal onslaught?
These are important questions we should all be asking ourselves, rather than letting our minds be manipulated.
